Hendy Group has added the Japanese manufacturer to its brand range.

Hendy Mazda opened its doors in Winchester this month offering the full range of cars, servicing and aftersales advice.

Managing director Paul Hendy says: "We already have a reputation with our Ford and Honda dealerships and look forward to repeating this success with the Mazda brand.’’

Hendy Mazda is positioned alongside Hendy Ford in Easton Lane in the city.

"Mazda has undergone a resurgence in recent years with a new line-up of cars now available and our staff have undergone rigorous training to provide the very best in aftersales support,’’ says deputy managing director Stephen Hendy.

The opening this month is marked by special events and promotions.
